• Lunar Gift Cards

  Funded Jan 9, 2025

  For Lunar New Year, I will use the gift cards to help my students engage in a creative activity, like a cultural exploration project. Students used the gift cards to "shop" for supplies to create traditional Lunar New Year decorations, such as red lanterns or paper cuttings, learning about the cultural significance behind them. It could even turn into a budgeting exercise, where students plan how to spend their gift card balance on the materials they need.

  The reaction from the students was a mixed of excitement and curiosity. I can imagine them feeling a sense of autonomy in choosing what to buy for their projects, and it could spark conversation about the value of gifting and the different ways people celebrate this holiday around the world. Plus, who doesn't love a gift card? It's always a pleasant surprise!”

• ESOL Gift For Learning

  Funded Dec 12, 2024

  When students first saw the gift cards, their reactions might have been full of excitement and curiosity. They could have thought the gift cards were just a treat, but as the teacher I explained the connection to Chinese New Year and the cultural practice of giving red envelopes. The students might have become more engaged with the idea of sharing hopes and aspirations for the year ahead.

  The students were working in groups about Chinese New Year 2025. The group that did the best presentation won the gift cards. The students chose the gift cards they wanted. It was an awesome learning experience. Not only did the students get incentives, but they were able to teach their peers about Chinese culture and traditions.”

• E-Games After School

  Funded Dec 12, 2024

  The new iPads and laptops have brought a whole new dimension to learning through e-games and educational simulations. What excites my students the most is the interactive nature of these tools. They can immerse themselves in educational games that challenge their problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, and creativity, all while having fun. For example, in subjects like math or language arts, students can now use gamified apps to practice skills in a competitive but supportive environment. This brings a sense of excitement and motivation that traditional methods often lack. The students are not only learning but enjoying the process, which makes a big difference in their engagement levels.

  In addition to educational games, the iPads and laptops have also been useful for virtual field trips, where students can explore historical landmarks, natural wonders, or even outer space without leaving the classroom. The ability to go on a virtual "field trip" has made lessons come to life in new and exciting waysAdditionally, some of my more tech-savvy students have really thrived with the new devices, using them to explore beyond the classroom curriculum. One student, for example, has taken a keen interest in coding and has begun using programming apps to create simple games, turning their curiosity into a passion for technology. Others have embraced the collaborative nature of the iPads, using shared documents and apps to work together on projects in ways that were much harder to do before.”

• Cleats To Play Soccer

  Funded Dec 10, 2024

  The new cleats have quickly become an essential tool in both our physical education and classroom activities. In P.E. and during soccer games. They're giving my students a boost in their performance, especially when we do agility drills and team sports. The added support and grip have made a noticeable difference in their confidence and ability to move safely on various surfaces. We've also been integrating discussions about sportsmanship, teamwork, and the science behind the cleats' design into our lessons. It's been amazing to see how excited they are to learn both physically and academically with this new equipment.

  When the cleats first arrived, my students' reactions were priceless! There was an audible buzz of excitement as they unboxed them. They immediately wanted to try them on and test them out. Some of them were asking questions like, "How do they make the shoes grip better?" and "Why do the cleats look different from regular shoes?" Their curiosity has sparked deeper conversations about physics, materials, and even the history of sports footwear.Thanks to the generous contributions from donors, students now have hands-on experiences that make these lessons even more engaging and relevant. We can't wait to see how they apply what they're learning to improve their own athletic skills and scientific understanding.”

• Hands On Arts and Crafts

  Funded Dec 12, 2024

  Thank you for your generous donation. The materials were used for out Christmas party for the students. The look on their faces were just amazing. We had the materials in rotations. The kids were able to decorate their Santa hats. They were so adorable wearing the Santa Hats. The students loved decorating their ornaments to hang on their tree. The kids were so excited to participate in the holiday party. The older kids did an amazing job volunteering.

  I love how we can save these materials for next year. It's because of you that we were able to give our little ones a special holiday party for the kids to enjoy. We hope to do this every year for out little ones. This is an example how to teach our new generations to help give back to their community. Thank You so much.”

  Thank you for your geenrous donation. My students come from different backgrounds and they all have one thing in common, they love watching and palying soccer. They go to practice everyday so they can be the best player they can be. The only thing stopping my kids from playing at their best is the cleats.

  Thanks to your donation my students were filled with excitement when they saw the new cleats they were receiving. Their eyes were filled with I can't explain it but thank You for the cleats.

  The new cleats helped build their confidence and playing with such winning attitude. They now feel they can be the best. They do share the cleats but my kids don't mind sharing as long as they get to play with their teammates. You have truly made my kids feel special and for that from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU:)

• Compete With Me

  Funded Sep 19, 2024

  Thank you so much for your donation. The PlayStation is a game-changer for education. It allows students to immerse themselves in virtual environments that can simulate real-world scenarios, historical events, or even abstract concepts.

  For example, a history class could virtually "walk" through ancient Rome or the pyramids of Egypt, giving them a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

  Science and Math: Interactive VR simulations can allow students to manipulate objects, conduct virtual experiments, or visualize complex mathematical concepts in a more intuitive way.Interactive and Collaborative Learning

  Online multiplayer games and shared experiences can encourage students to collaborate and communicate with each other in new ways, promoting teamwork and social learning.

  Th PlayStation games also have features where my students can share achievements, problem-solve together, or even learn from each other by seeing others' approaches to challenges.”
